How to create a light-weight server like nginx from scratch?

Question

Okay, I know it's a stupid question, but I really want to know, I'm that damn kid who breaks up every toy just to see how it works, but unfortunately I can't break nginx. Anyway I'm using Windows, I know Java, Python, PHP and a few more languages, but I have no idea how a server is built.

First off:

Create a simple HTTP server with Java?

Try this for a simple python server:

There were also about a hundred good links that pop up if you google "simple [insert programming language here] web server". Just a heads up. – eatonphil Jun 20 '13 at 18:42
